Revolution - AARP Style

Howard Stern is a skinny 60 year old man who still has a bit of belly fat (ease up on the portions of almonds!) but he likes to dress like a skateboarder in an attempt to maintain a youthful rebel image.

However, the aging former shock jock fills his satellite radio show (which airs 2-3 days per week) with a lot of guests who are not exactly spring chickens.

Here's a sampling of the guests that Howard has had on the air so far in 2014 (age as of appearance date):

Five guests in their 80s:

Name
Age
Robert Duvall 83
Dan Rather 82
Willie Nelson 81
Joan Rivers 80
Larry King80

Four guests in their 70s:

Name  Age
George Takei   77
Valerie Harper   74
Smokey Robinson   74
Richard Williams   72

Twelve guests in their 60s:

Name  Age
Danny Trejo   69
Donovan   68
Donald Trump   68
Neil Young   68
Jeff Bridges   64
Joe Perry   64
Bill Murray   64
John Mellencamp   63
Sharon Osbourne   62
Harvey Weinstein   61
Roseanne Barr   61
Kevin Nealon   60

He also has mixed in some 'younger' guests who are in their late 50s:

Name Age
Jerry Seinfeld  59
Al Roker  59
Carol Leifer  58
Billy Idol  58
Katie Couric  57
Matt Lauer  56
  
Most of these "big names" aren't exclusively appearing on the Stern show and many of them are going on as many shows as possible to pimp their latest projects.

It's too bad that Howard doesn't have the same listening base that he did before his "Revolution" - recently, Robert Downey Jr. (a youngster not even AARP-eligible!) visited the show to promote his new movie the Judge, but for some reason the millions of Stern fans didn't show up at the box office and it finished in fifth place for its opening weekend.
